000 FXUS64 KHGX 012328 AFDHGX Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Houston/Galveston TX 628 PM CDT Thu Oct 1 2020 .AVIATION [00Z TAF Issuance]... VFR conditions will prevail through the period. Light and variable winds overnight with higher winds along the coast. Tomorrow will have northeasterly at the TAF sites. 35 && .SHORT TERM [Through Friday Night]... Today continued the stretch of blue sky days across SE Texas, and these days will not be ending anytime soon. Temperatures across the region climbed into the mid to upper 80s across the area, so a little warmer than yesterday. However, a weak cold front will move through the area this evening that will reinforce cooler air tomorrow. You really won`t recognize that this cold front pushes through besides a northeasterly wind shift. Low temperatures tonight will be in the upper 50s for most of the area with the City of Houston staying a few degrees warmer. Daytime highs tomorrow will be in the upper 70s north of Lake Livingston and in the low 80s across the rest of the area. Friday evening is looking to be a spectacular fall evening with light winds, clear skies, and comfortable temperatures in the 70s. No precipitation is expected within the period. Fowler .LONG TERM [Saturday Through Thursday Night]... Pleasant weather continues through most of the long term period with relatively dry conditions and temperatures mainly in the 80s. Saturday is shaping up to be another pleasant day for this time of year with highs from the upper 70s to low 80s. The parade of weak cold fronts continues with a backdoor front approaching the region Sunday afternoon into Monday. As with previous fronts over the past couple of days, this fropa will not bring much impacts, but a wind shift to the north-northeast and of course, a reinforced dry/cool airmass. The front should be over the Gulf waters by late Sunday night/early Monday morning. Behind the front, gusty winds up to 20 knots will be possible, especially along the coast and over the waters. At the moment, dry conditions look to persist through, at least Wednesday. Deterministic models are suggesting active weather as a couple of tropical systems develop/move near or over the Gulf of Mexico throughout the week. At this time, minimal, if any impacts are expected across southeast Texas. The main concern is over the Gulf waters with the potential for increasing swells/wave heights (see Marine section for more details). The GFS brings a surge in moisture returning back into the region as early as Wednesday while the Canadian and ECMWF (and its ensembles) keep our region relatively dry during this time-frame. Given the discrepancies between models, and a strong mid-upper level ridge prevailing to our west; have opted-out the GFS and kept our region dry through the end of the extended period. With the ridge holding strong and moving further east into central/eastern TX, a warming trend is expected by mid-week. Highs will generally be in the upper 80s to near 90. 05 .MARINE... Gusty northeast winds are expected tonight as a cold front moves through the region. Winds from 15 to 20 knots with gusts up to 25 knots are expected through Friday morning. Small Craft Should Exercise Caution flags are in effect from 1 AM Friday until 7 AM Friday. Surface high pressure moves in, leading to light to moderate onshore winds into Sunday. Another weak front will sag southward Sunday into Monday, possibly bringing gusts up to 20 knots at times behind the front. Conditions could be less favorable for mariners next week. Increasing swells/wave heights are possible across the offshore waters as an area (or areas) of low pressure near the Yucatan/Bay Campeche moves into the Gulf waters Monday into the middle of the week. Caution and/or Advisory headlines may be possible through this period. 05 .TROPICAL... After a quick slumber, the tropical Atlantic is beginning to awaken yet again. The National Hurricane Center is currently monitoring two tropical waves for potential tropical development within the next five days. The first wave is currently off the Yucatan and has a 40 percent chance of development within the next two days, and 70 percent chance within the next five. The second wave is located out in the far eastern Caribbean and has 20 percent chance of development within the next five days (when it nears the Yucatan). While it is too early to determine if these system will impact SE Texas for sure, but neither look to pose an imminent threat. Seas and the rip current risk may increase next weekend with these system out in the Gulf. Fowler && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
